My name is Silvia Donati, I was born in Rome on August 4, 1977, and since I was a child I have developed a great passion for drawing. After completing my compulsory studies, I enrolled at the Istituto Statale d'Arte in Tivoli, metal and goldsmith branch, which I completed, graduating with honors. Subsequently I decided to enroll in the Italian Institute of Crafts and Restoration to acquire the qualification of restorer of paintings. Here I learned new pictorial techniques such as egg painting and fresco, one of the most beautiful pictorial techniques for me. Following life's commitments (marriage, children, work) I had an artistic blackout that lasted years, a period in which I couldn't find a "reason" to create. The pandemic has helped me get out of my creative block and rekindle that fire in me that makes me feel alive. I realized that you don't need a reason to do what makes us feel good. We do it precisely because it makes us happy.
